If the latest announcement by the royal family is anything to go by, Meghan Markle has definitely already had her baby

The royal family has all but confirmed Meghan Markle has welcomed she and Prince Harry's first child...

The entire world has been waiting on the official announcement from the royal family regarding the birth of Baby Sussex but we suspect the big event may have already taken place.

Why, you ask?

Because of an announcement made by the royal family overnight. A message appeared on the Buckingham Palace Twitter account announcing that Prince Harry will travel to the Netherlands next week.

The announcement confirmed that Harry will be in Amsterdam on May 8 for an official engagement before heading to The Hague on May 9 to "officially launch the one year countdown to the Invictus Games" scheduled for 2020.

Seems like an odd time to take a trip when his wife is thought to be giving birth imminently, no? Which is why we think the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already welcomed their first child. To add fuel to the fire, it was widely reported that the Queen visited the pair at Frogmore Cottage across the Easter weekend which could suggest she went to meet the newest member of the family.

However, some royal commentators aren't convinced. Instead, they believe the trip is scheduled "in case" Harry is able to attend should Meghan not be giving birth on those dates or any close to them.

So some context...Harry WILL go to the Netherlands IF he can go. So if Meghan is in labour he won’t. Safe also to assume if Neghan gave birth a day or two earlier ... he won’t. But because this is the @InvictusGamesNL and it means so much to Harry, he wants to go IF HE CAN https://t.co/xVAcEzo5T4

The pair has chosen to keep the details of the birth private until they are ready to share the news with the world which means there's a distinct possibility it could have already happened and they're simply enjoying their time as a family. But honestly, who knows? Our Insta notifications are well and truly on for any update.
